2013 Halloween Events on Kauai for Kids and Adults

It’s that wonderful time of year again when we get to wake up to pumpkin spice lattes and friendly neighborhood decorating rivalries – some of the only ways you can really tell it’s the ‘Fall season’ on Kauai. This time of year is a favorite for many Kauai residents, so don’t worry about missing out on Halloween if you’re vacationing on island – we celebrate it here.

Regardless of if you are a local resident looking for something new to do for Halloween, or if you’re a visitor looking for a festive place to bring the kids, Kauai has many things to do on Halloween, and below we’ve listed some popular Halloween and Fall events that you can attend.

Family-Friendly Fall Celebrations on Kauai

Kauai provides both visitors and residents with an unforgettable place to celebrate Halloween as it is so uniquely diverse, attracting a wonderful assortment of trick-or-treaters – both in costume and age. There are several family-friendly Kauai neighborhoods for trick-or-treating, as well as great community events, parties, and festivals put on by local churches and businesses. Here are 5 popular Halloween events on Kauai to bring the family to:

1. Kukui Grove’s Freaky Fridays & Saturdays

Each Friday and Saturday throughout the month of October, Kukui Grove Shopping Center offers their “Freaky Fridays & Saturdays” event for the kids to enjoy. A fundraiser for Aloha Dance Studio, kids can explore a haunted house, play carnival games, and be entertained by live theatrical performances.

2. Koloa Corn Maze

If you’re looking for a fun time trying to find your way through a Kauai corn maze, head over to Kauai Christian Fellowship church in Koloa. Taking the shape of a giant pumpkin at the center, their Corn Maze is back this year, and ready for you to get lost in! Spend an hour or two trying to find your way to the other side – or see if you get lost and simply turn into just another “Corn Maze Zombie.”

Please Note: If you do decide to go through the Corn Maze, be sure to bring some water (and a flashlight if attempting after dark).

3. Kauai Christian Academy’s 13th Annual Fall Festival

If you’re looking for a great place to celebrate the Fall season in an unforgettable island setting, don’t miss the annual Fall Festival at Kauai Christian Academy in Kilauea. This highly anticipated community event is well attended as it is a favorite among north shore residents. Not only is the atmosphere festive, the people are friendly, welcoming, and there to have a good time. (Don’t forget to wear your Halloween costume.)
